I read this (The World Gives Way by Marissa Levien) - your mileage may vary depending on whether you like the personal or physical side of world-building. Elements of the latter were deeply frustrating and implausible to me, might not bug others who are there for the characters and the story.

There was also a Chekhov's gun that to me never fired at all, and some other pieces of the ending that didn't work for me.
